In healthcare software development since 2005, ScienceSoft designs and builds custom wellness applications with high user engagement rates.
Wellness Apps: the Essence
Designed for mobile platforms, wellness applications promote a healthy lifestyle and vary from specialized fitness apps that enable activity tracking, physical and mental exercises, or nutrition management to general wellness monitoring solutions. Using engagement techniques, wellness apps help users adopt healthy behaviors and monitor their physical, psychological, and behavioral state.
Custom wellness apps can provide AI-based personalization of recommendations (on meals, workouts, education materials), top-tier gamification techniques for user retention, and multilingual user support. Plus, custom apps can be easily integrated with multiple smart devices, like smartwatches by different brands, smart scales, and more.
Core Features of Wellness Apps
As a healthcare app development company, ScienceSoft typically implements the following functionality in its wellness app projects:
Health state tracking
Automated (using connected wearables) and manual health and activity log (e.g., number of steps, heart rate during a workout, body mass index, jogging speed).
Nutrition log featuring meals’ calories; protein, fat, carbs consumption, etc. (users can either enter the parameters manually or choose a meal from the list in the app).
Mental health and mood journaling (for coping with stress, etc.).
Tracking periods, ovulation, and pregnancy.
Sleep cycle tracking.
User profile with key health information (e.g., age, height, weight).
